REVIEW NOVEL CINTA PENCURI MIMPI - LYNN DAYANA
Assalamualaikum
w.b.t,
Lama tak
menulis apa-apa di sini... menulis review novel apatah lagi, kan... tak membaca
apa-apa langsung dah selepas novel terakhir... novel apa ek? Oh ya, novel dari
karya kakak kesayangan (gitu!), Dhiya Zafira, Tertulis Buat Kita... sesiapa
yang belum membacanya, silalah cuba, try, test, give it a shoot... best!
Lepas itu
adalah baca tulisan Nicholas Spark tapi macam busy je, macam sibuk je... erhmm,
sibuk sangat hidup saya, bencilah dengan hidup student ni... (sila baca dalam
nada Syasha! Haha!) terus tak habis baca novel yang bertajuk The Notebook
itu...
Okeylah,
bukan nak bebel benda itu, itu mukadimah aka pembuka karutan... motif penulis
hari ini ialah menulis review novel Lynn Dayana – Cinta Pencuri Mimpi (CPM).
Cinta Pencuri
Mimpi? Mimpi itu dicuri oleh seorang pencuri yang jatuh cinta ke? Atau ‘mimpi’
itu adalah sejenis objek fizikal yang boleh dicuri-curi seperti mencuri
gula-gula getah di kedai mamak? Saya jadi konfius... macam pelik je, macam
hairan je... suka dengan tajuk novel ni!
Emil: Jahn, can you just knock it off
with this whole ‘Syasha’ thing?!
Jahn: No, I like her! I adore her... mata
dia chantet!
Okeylah,
sambung review... ini adalah novel kedua tulisan Lynn Dayana yang saya baca...
I know that she’s lots of novels already but this is the second one... I do
thought to give all the others a try but saya seorang student yang dintis
(miskin), so... slow-slow... haha...
Emil: Kata nak sambung, mengarut lagi
buat apa...
Jahn: Ok, sambunglah ni...
Overall,
premis ceritanya quite ok, so saya bagi 3.5... Like I said earlier, I don’t
read much so, I can’t argue over originality. I’m sure every writer knows how
to generate originality in many forms. So, it’s not fair for me to say things
about originality sedangkan saya sendiri tak baca banyak lagi novel lain dekat
pasaran itu.
Emil: Jahn believes that he needs to
be selective, not all novels in the market he needs to read... or buy, he reads
a lot from others but doesn’t keen enough to wrote reviews. Some of it doesn’t
even worth a suggestion to promote...
More about
the premise of the fiction, I do think it is a very positive and of a thoughtful
piece. Some writers may just write what people wants to read rather than what
people should and suppose to read in order for them to learn something. For me,
this is crucial, this is very important. Semua yang berkuasa terhadap sesuatu
perlu menggunakan kuasa itu untuk mendidik orang lain yang... mungkin bukannya
tidak arif, tetapi kadang-kala tersasar sedikit. Meminjam sedikit idea yang
dikongsi oleh Lynn Dayana di dalam CPM, hidup manusia ini patut jadi macam
semut yang berjalan balik ke sarangnya... akan ada masanya dalam perjalanan itu
ada halangan, jadi mereka kena amik satu selekoh... tapi semut-semut ini semua tahu
arah tuju mereka. Mereka tak tersasar, mereka tahu jalan pulang. Haa... gitu!
Tapi yelah, manusia ni makhluk yang lemah, naïf, penuh khilaf, kan... jadi kita
perlukan didikan or at least something to help us not to get diverted too much from our path...
sebab itu kita ada UAI, Semanis Kurma, TV Al-Hijrah, etc... dan pada saya,
penulis karya fiksyen pun ada tanggungjawab yang biarpun nampak kecil tapi...
mereka membantu. Perlu, wajib membantu.
And Lynn
Dayana, for me, from my earnest attention, does have that responsibility
constituted in CPM. On that account I must say, congrats, DEAR SISTAH!
Narrative,
sequence of events in this story... the one thing that I ultimately feel was
great is the manipulative prologue... after that prologue, the writer starts
off with the leading male protagonist... I get the thought of that baby which
has been given to someone else at first was Zahier Arshad. At first, but I
changed it to Liz pulak sebab, I don’t want to be predictable. Then I got
slapped given the fact that Liz died... okay, that baby wouldn’t be her... but,
I stayed with the wage it’s not gonna be Zahier... too predictable!
CPM is no
thriller kinda stuffs that I personally like in a Malay novel. So, I have no
big expectation about the thriller part in the novel but still, it would suck
if element of surprise is missing... given the fact that I read Lynn Dayana’s
previous work Cinta Untuk Disewa (CUD), she should have the element going on.
But I didn’t
think she’d be all that GOOD!
I’m like Oh
My God! She is very good with all that manipulative thingy over who is adopted
and who is not!
Emil: Gunakanlah bahasa kebangsaan
kita, marilah amalkan ramai-ramai! Lalala~
Jahn: Nakkk harooommmm!
Jadi, semua
tentang hint yang Kak Ros ada anak kembar, sepatutnya Kak Ros dan Airis ada
seorang lagi adik tu... and Faizal, cakap nama Airis dan Zahier is both ZA, ada
jodoh sebab muka ada iras... has got me menyumpah fak, fak, fak, fak, fak, fak
dah!
Well,
bukannya saya tak menjangka yang penulis akan buat Zahier dan Airis live
happily ever after and mereka bukan adik beradik... tapi apa yang bestnya
adalah, the minute she had me thinking like that, she got me all wrong, in
every way possible! And I thought to myself, WOW! Salute! And element of
surprise... 4.5 stars! (I learned that lecturers don’t give student full marks,
even when they deserve it! Hahaha..!)
Characters –
pada saya berkembang dengan baik, and for me it’s Zahier-biased for the 1st
half and the way other for Airis on the later part. Sejujurnya, saya lebih menyukai
part Zahier. Dekat situ, lebih banyak pengajarannya daripada segi keagamaan. I
liked it. Part Airis lebih kepada masalah jiwa raga... which is okay... but,
it’s just okay... susah nak describe... karekter pembantu especially Taufik,
Kak Ros, Muaz, Hana dan Maiza digarap dengan baik.
I like the
bromance between Zahier and Taufik... I hoped it would be a little more of
that... I don’t know what other readers might think but, I think bromance is
cute... saya cadangkan Kak Lynn buat cerita yang lebih banyak bromance di masa
akan datang... come on, bromance is sweet okay, it’s nothing gay at all!
Hana dan
Maiza... character-wise, mereka okey... I even have that feeling of they’re
like ‘devil’ and ‘angel’ to Airis. While Hana said, stay away from Zahier...
Maiza was like, go get ‘em tiger! And while Hana was against the idea of
Z-A-Z-A, Maiza said mungkin apa yang Airis lihat pada Zahier itu cuma sekadar
pada zahirnya sahaja.
Apa yang buat
saya konfius mungkin hanyalah masalah Maiza dengan familinya... macam, it was
put there to serve too little purpose... yang hanya nak buat plot untuk Airis
nampak macam mana sebenarnya Zahier but at the end masalah Maiza tetap tak
setel. Hmm, and then I think about it again, memang ada masalah yang takkan
selesai pun... mungkin penulis mahu menarik pembaca balik ke reality, tak semua
masalah akan selesai, even if they will, it will not be in a swift and easy...,
kan? But that is just my personal opinion. Selagi tak mengganggu naratif
okey-okey je...
Khalid... inilah
contoh manusia yang luar nampak baik tapi dalam baik-baik tu, dialah paling
buruk perangainya, okey, he’s right, dia mampu, dia tak salah sebab dia jatuh
cinta, you know what they say, everything is fair in war and love, kan tapi
agak-agaklah orang dah kahwin pun still nak jugak, he’s just a wee-bit
obsessive over Airis, and when does obsession ever be love?! Apa yang bengap
sangat mamat tu sebenarnya. Emosi tau saya...
Mak uda dan Fuad...
ini lagi menyirappp kuasa tiga belas! Padanlah mak uda itu suka sangat tengok
sinetron! Terpengaruh lah tu... Fuad tu pulak, kan... I got a friend, he’s in a
same situation like Fuad, balik-balik Malaysia dalam keadaan macam itu... bila
saya dengar dia cerita dia dah accumulate RM 400k of debts dengan JPA... saya macam
kesian je... but he didn’t take that as a negative thing, he even sambung study
semula dalam negara sebab dia nak redeem himself... tapi kalau dah penuh sangat
negativiti dalam diri, jadilah macam si Fuad ni... janganlah kita jadi macam
itu...Amin...
Macam dah
panjang je review mengarut ni, kan... so, bottom line... naskah ini is not even
bad. It’s quite good actually...
Oh, yeah... one
thing jelah if I want to say about what I don’t like about this piece, I have
to be honest... one third of the beginning of the novel, too many spelling
errors. Macam tak ada orang yang reviewed, proof read and/or edited the
manuscript je... I really don’t know HOW Alaf 21 run things there but, come on,
you’re a BIG publishing company... your line of publications are endless,
takkanlah takde orang yang boleh buat kerja proof-reading dekat situ. To be
truthfully honest, I’m at the edge of disappointment, dissatisfied if I may
extend. Pleaselah, proof-read next time, masalah ni bukan masalah CPM je... a
lot of other novels pun had this problem.
But disebabkan
novel ini BEST, saya pejamkan jelah mata and bergantung kepada storyline, overall
saya bagi 4 stars... so people... go and get the novel... and read...!
Emil: Adalagi yang aku susah nak
faham, the epilog tu berlaku lama selepas last chapter, kan... macam susah je
timeline dia...
Jahn: Tak mengganggu naratif dah, tak
payah nak kesah sangat! Oh ya, biasa aku kan mesti kena bayangkan watak-watak,
kan... ni lah mereka yang aku bayangkan semasa membaca...
Zul Ariffin as Zahier Arshad (percayalah
bahawasanya mamat ini adalah Junior (READ THAT 'JUNIOR', walaupun dia lagi tua dari saya!) saya dulu, masa di UiTM Melaka...), why him..? just look at that guy... he pretty much have everything... this is just my opinion, he got the looks, the build, what more... he even has the persona...
Izara Aishah as Zara Airis, tau gambar ni dia tak pakai tudung tapi jika dia berlakon pakai tudung, tak ke cantik wajah beliau...
Kamal Adli as Taufik, si Taufik tu kan kadang-kadang macam sengal je, macam mereng je, kan... sama lah ni... in a good way...
Anzalna as Lili, walaupun sekarang dia banyak berlakon baik-baik je... tapi she's that persona... that's a compliment, okay... she's an actress...
p/s – nak baca ‘Magis’ pulak lepas
ni...!
